Frequently asked questions
How long can a GIF be?
Up to 30 seconds (after any speed-up). GIFs get large quickly, though: for sharing, keep them under 10 seconds and 480 pixels wide.
Can I make a boomerang GIF?
Yes. Choose Boomerang under Playback: the clip plays forward, then backward, in an endless loop.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. Cutlia processes your video directly in your browser using WebAssembly and your device's hardware. The file never leaves your computer or phone, so it stays completely private.
Is it really free?
Yes. Cutlia is free to use with no account, no trial and no watermark on your export. The site is paid for by the ads on it, and your files never leave your device.
